Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

sponge and filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and offered him a drink. But the rest said,

let's see if Elijah comes to Satan. But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up

his spirit. So, Alexa, what were some of your annotation takeaways from this passage?

Yeah, I thought I would speak to the same prompts I talked about on Monday, the prompts that ask us to

highlight any words or phrases that point to Christ and just to make any note of any attributes of

God's seen in the text. For the prompt that asks us to highlight any words or phrases that point to Christ and just to make any note of any attributes of God seen in the text.
